How to Increase Cell Phone Battery Performance
By Isaac Mckinney
With current cell phone technology your cell phone battery life can be drained far sooner than what the manufacture may suggest. Large touch screens, fast processor and numerous subsystems running in the background together team up to drain down your battery. You can either deal with recharging the battery every chance you get or take some steps to reduce the battery consumption in your phone.
Battery Management
Go into your cell phones settings and find the Battery manager option. This option gives you the ability to set your phones settings to adjust for either high performance or energy saving mode. The options and wording may vary with different manufactures but the results are similar. The Battery Manager is a function that can shut down devices and apps that are not currently in use so that energy consumption is reduced.
Manual Battery Management
There are several manual steps a user can take to save battery life on a cell phone. Manual battery management is permanent in a way that it doesn't rely on whether or not if your phone is active or on standby. Once the options are changed manually they can only be returned to previously settings manually. Here are a few steps to manually control battery management.
Turn down screen brightness
Go into your settings and turn down the brightness of your LCD screen to a level that's comfortable to you. The lower the level then the more energy you save.
Screen Time Out
Change your screen time out setting to its lowest amount of time. This way your screen will shut off as soon as you stop using your phone.
Turn off Wi-Fi
Most of the time you're not using your Wi-Fi feature so why leave it running? Turning off your Wi-Fi will save you energy that's normally just being wasted. You can always turn it back on if you need it.
Turn off Bluetooth
If you're not using a Bluetooth head set then this is another waist of energy. These types of wireless features are constantly running in the background even though you may not be aware of them being on.

How to Get a Cell Phone Contract With Bad Credit
How to Get a Cell Phone Contract With Bad Credit
By Isaac Mckinney
As a former employee of a cell phone carrier I found that many consumers are skeptical of purchasing a cell phone due to their undesirable credit history. They often believe that prepaid is their only option but they would prefer a contract provider. Many people don't realized that even with subprime credit they may still be eligible for a mobile phone contract. 80% of the customers with the misconception that they can't get a contract where often surprised when they received approval for a cell phone plan. If you have bad credit and prefer better quality cell phones over prepaid then here are a few steps you can take to get a contract phone
Pay a down payment
Many customers with bad credit may be asked to pay a down on their contract. The price can range from $50 to $400 depending on the carrier. You get the money back with interest after waiting two years. Go through the application process to find out what you qualify for. If your down payment requirement is at the low end then go for it but if it's at the high end then move on.
Apply with various carriers
If you're preferred cell phone carrier is charging you a very high down payment then apply at another company. Some carriers pick up customers that their competitors may reject. Its amazing how one carrier may classify you as a high risk but another may consider you to be a prime client.
Go with credit lenient companies
Not all cell phone companies use the same process for credit checks. Each company have different standards and requirements than there competitors. It's been my experience that Sprint and T-mobile usually provide great deals for customers with bad credit.
Sprint's credit requirements are the lowest of the major US carriers. Many customers who were rejected by other carriers almost always get a contract with sprint. Usually they ask for a $50 down payment but may be up to $150. Sprint has some of the lowest priced service plans in the nation that helps to keep monthly bills to a minimum.
T-mobile is also a good choice for customers with low credit scores. In addition to having low credit requirements, T-mobile takes it a step further by vanquishing down payment and providing account options form customers for subprime customers. The first of two options is called the even more plan. In this plan the customer still has the ability to purchase phones at a discount price but they have to pay the first month's bill up front. Activation fees are automatically waved, saving you a large sum of money if you purchased more than one phone. The second option is the even more plus plan. This option is a no contract plan. You have to pay full price for the phones but the monthly fees are cheaper than the even more plan. After a year of timely payments on the even more plus plan T-mobile will review your account to determine if you're eligible to upgrade to a contract plan.

Free Cell Phones - Online Wireless Dealer Stores
Free Cell Phones - Online Wireless Dealer Stores
By Isaac Mckinney
Getting a free cell phone is more realistic than any person may think it is. Normally when a person hears that something is free they may be filled with doubt. Free items often come with some kind of gimmick or catch and sometimes break the law. You won't find prices that low in any brick & motor dealer store unless the phone is an old or low end model. There are actual dealer stores that have at least 90% of their cell phone inventory priced at $0.00, weather if it's a regular phone device or a Smartphone data device. The only place you can get a large selection free cell phones with the purchase of a new contract is on the internet. There is no surveying involved and you don't have to purchase anything you don't really want to buy in order to get your free cell phone.
Typically, cell phones are considered to be priced between $300 and $5oo but with a contract you will normally pay $50 to $200 for a cell phone. This works because the commission the dealer store gets for the contract sale is more than enough to make up for the phone price discount. Dealer stores on the internet have it even better. Everyone knows by now that internet stores provide much lower cost overhead than a brick & mortar store, allowing the company to offer lower prices on their products. Internet dealer stores such as TMI-warless, Wirefly and LetsTalk offer much of their inventory for free with the purchase of a new two year contract form all of the United States to cell phone carriers.
Here is a typical breakdown of the purchasing process on one of these web sites:
· Log on to one of these sites, whether if it's TMI-wireless, Wirefly or LetsTalk
· Pick your favorite carrier
· Look for the phone you would like to purchase
· The condition for a free cell phone is contingent upon signing up for a new two year contract or renewing your contract with an upgrade only
· You can purchase a phone without a contract at full cost of the product
· There are no rebates involved
· Next the web site will offer you all the same contract plan options and fees that normally come with the carrier you selected
· For the most part ground shipping is free
· They do offer faster shipping methods with a charge
· In the next step you will have to fill out the required application for service
· You will need to enter your credit card information for identification purposes
· As long as you don't violate any of the terms of service or agreements your card will not be charged
At the end of your transaction you will be able to review all entered information before finalizing you purchase. The company will let you know if you have been approved within 48 and ship your product with the option you selected. Make sure you read all terms of use prior to making a purchase.

iPhone 4 Or Android? - Smartphone Superiority
iPhone 4 Or Android? - Smartphone Superiority
By Isaac Mckinney
Google and Apple have been releasing some amazing new technology in their new devices as they Battle to be the best smartphone in the market. Note that the iPhone was launched one year before the first android phone. Currently Apple has a head start with a 27% share on the smartphone market as appose to Android's nine percent share. Does that absolutely prove that Apple's iPhone are better than Google's android phones? Don't judge so fast.
iPhone 4 is currently exclusively sold by At&t, though this may change in the future. Apple is capable of generating a rave of fans that isn't seen with any other manufactures products. As a result people wait in long lines on launch day in hopes to be able to receive or preorder an iPhone. Apple generally has a solid core of loyal fans and users.
Goggle's Android powered phones are picking up pace in the smart phone market and are accelerating in sales growth quarter by quarter. Google's leverage is that they have more saturation of phones being manufactured by many different companies and have a presence in every major US carrier. A Perfect example is the Samsung Galaxy S which has a variation in four major US carriers plus in some European and Asian countries as well.
A new Android phone is launched every three to six months by different manufactures and with improved specification from their previous generations. This fast paced life cycle keeps Android ahead of the curve in technology and future upgrades.
Android has the potential to become the superior smartphone but iPhone market share is still big enough to stand ground. It has been un-officially announced that Verizon will carry the iPhone early next year. Because phone can get apps, including windows mobile, BlackBerry and some prepaid phones, both Apple and Google risk getting stale if they can't bring something brand new to the table in future generation devices. Google needs a game changer while Apple is tapping into a deeper well of potential customers. There is a need for more open source apps that are useful to daily life. Look into adding more fun by including some new hardware to use in connection with new apps. Maybe a heart rate sensor for joggers or a 3x optical zoom if it's at all possible.

Compare the Samsung Vibrant With the Samsung Epic
Compare the Samsung Vibrant With the Samsung Epic
By Isaac Mckinney
The Samsung Galaxy S is Samsungs latest release of Android powered devices. Every major US carrier received their own version of the Galaxy S Smartphone. T-mobile's Samsung Vibrant and Sprint's Samsung Epic are both variants of the Samsung Galaxy S series Smartphone. Both these phones come with the same core features such as the Android 2.1 operating system, the super AMOLED 4" screen, HD video playback and the 1GHz Hummingbird processor. There are however, several unique specifications that may help a consumer make a decision on which carrier to go with.
Samsung Epic
Sprint's Epic comes with a slide out full QWERTY keyboard. This is a useful advantage because not everyone can get use to the sensitivity of a touch screen. The keyboard is quite large but the keys are large and spaced apart from each other for easier use.
The Epic has a front side camera for video conferencing. Very few Smartphone devices have this feature but it's something to take note of. Video conferencing can be use for live demonstrations over your phone or a face to face business conversation.
The Epic is yet another phone capable of using Sprints 4G data network. You will experience fast download speed more suitable for video streaming that what must other Smartphone devices are capable of today.
The Samsung Epic can act as a Wi-Fi access point that can support up to five devices. What does the mean? You can use your phone as an Internet router without going through the trouble of finding and installing tethering software.
Samsung Vibrant
T-mobiles Vibrant body design remains relatively untouched from the original Galaxy S device. The phone has a thin, sleek and sexy appearance and to it that makes you want to have it just solely on the way it looks.
At 0.39 inches thick the Vibrant is one of the thinnest versions of the Galaxy S devices. Its lightweight and thin design makes it easy to slip right in your pocket.
The Vibrant will excusably come with a full version of James Carmon's "Avatar" and a special edition of The SIM 3. If you never played The SIMs it is highly recommended. These multimedia features will provide you with many hours of fun activity while you are experience down time such as waiting on a doctor's appointment or traveling but not driving.
Conclusion
The Epic is centered on Data services and provides an excellent high speed connections and the ability to share that connection with other devices. The phone can be use as a backup or a replacement to your home's internet service provider or where ever else you may be.
The Vibrant has a thin lightweight but sturdy structure with a more attractive appearance of all the other Galaxy S variants. The phone is multimedia system providing you with a variety of entertainment features that can keep you occupied for hours

T-mobile is adding locations
As mentioned in Phonedog.com, T-mobile has partnered up with Target to offer their phones and other products at over 840 Target locations. The web site also mentioned that one of the problems faced with this partnership is that the employees at all other authorized T-mobile dealers are not properly trained. As a former employee of T-mobile I would have to agree but it’s not the fault of T-mobile or the dealer store. It’s the employees who choose not to care.
I was a T-mobile reprehensive sent to stores such as Wal-Mart and Radio shack to help sell T-mobile products. Wal-Mart doesn’t pay commission to their employees. This is a bad thing because the employees will not be customer oriented or motivated. They will only do the minimum requirements to perform their jobs to avoid being terminated. Not every commission associate is a. Radio shack employees are played commission but there is another hurdle for T-mobile at RadioShack. The employees are often frustrated when customers are only approved for a no contract service. Instead of doing their jobs and promoting the benefits of T-mobiles products and showing how much money the customer would save, they just move on to the next carrier. Many times RadioShack employees don’t even bother to mention T-mobile.
I have never sold a cell phone at Bust Buy but I know their culture. They don’t pay their employees commission but they do make sure their employees are up to par in the selling skills and knowledge. I’m not sure if this is a winning model in their cell phone department but it did work in their computer department.
Knowing the type of store that Target is I would assume that they won’t pay their employees commission and thus won’t have motivated or knowledgeable employees. Only Bust Buy has the Bust Buy culture of enthusiasm and achievements without getting paid commission and I have never seen that model work any ware else.
